It’s not quite summer here, but it’s warm and patios are opening all over Albuquerque.

I know I’m not the only local who seeks out inviting patios.

I’m surprised that more business owners don’t see the value in creating ambiance for their outdoor spaces. It’s a small investment that yields big results. (Especially in a city where we have abundant sunshine.)

Let’s take one of my favorite clients, Horse & Angel Tavern, for an example of why nice patios matter. They’re located in the Mountain Run Shopping Center, where Eubank and Juan Tabo meet (south of Eubank and Academy).

They are already located in a beautiful part of town, near the base of the Sandias. But they don’t stop there. Instead, every year they choose to make the area a little prettier by sprucing up their patio. They do this so the customers have a nicer place to enjoy lunch or happy hour, and so they can attract new customers.

Here’s what the patio looked like pre-summertizing:

The patio doesn’t look bad, just a little bare.

That’s where I came in.

After listening to the client’s specific requests (lots of color, lots of vines, no blocking the sidewalk), and after testing the irrigation lines for a few weeks with “dummy baskets” (the irrigation is the hands of a third party), we recently unleashed the beautifying:

I appreciate that the owner and manager of Horse & Angel understand the value of an oasis-y patio. Thanks fellas!

If you’re in Albuquerque and are looking for a nice place to have lunch, now you know where to go – Horse & Angel Tavern!

About Me

Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I'm a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.

Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they're indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.

I can beautify your home, office, or patio with plants and flowers. I have 13 years of experience growing plants, and friendships.

Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.

All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you'd like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don't suck. We have a deal? Good.
